studies!

These are from yesterday--which was a wonderfully cloudy and dramatic day (especially since I plan on having cloudy skies in the big painting I just started). These are all small--under 6 inches, and done in 10-20 minutes.

stuff!

I was sick for a week...trying to get back into the swing of things!

Family Tree

Here is the large-scale (72"x72") piece I made for Domenic's Concentrated Studies in Life Painting last semester!Details:


Now, time to start some new stuff....

small paintings

These are all smaller paintings I did towards the end of the semester, studies and quick observational sketches (except for the last one, which was done from a photograph/memory). They were all in the Holiday Art Show sale, and I sold one! It was my first sale in a more formal setting, very exciting.

final sculpture

My final piece for figure sculpture--I constructed a chicken wire armature, stuffed it with newspaper, and then fleshed it out with clay! I worked partially from a machette, imagination, and the model.

Studio and Protest

I started some small painting studies around the studio--it's a never-ending source of composition and colors!
And last Friday we had the "Artists Against Furlough" (fun day) Protest. We all sat out on 7th street painting en plein air, and demonstrating our commitment to our education. It was a big success, the Pres even brought us sandwiches!
some quick studies:
And that's all for now, I'm about to start a new canvas..."getting to know yooou.." :)
